The PE Hub offers a comprehensive library of pre-planned lessons and videos, supporting teachers to realise their potential as educators and deliver the high-quality PE lessons pupils need to lead active lives.
In the episode they discuss:
· How Mim went from qualified teacher, to director of a sports coaching business, to founder of the leading online PE platform for schools
· Why physical activity is important to Mim and the benefits it brings
· Why small companies should focus on their specialist area rather than attempt to master it all
· Why future planning is vital for Mim and her business moving forward
· The benefits of bringing in specialist employees from outside an organisation
